Level Infinite and SHIFT UP brought the heat during the GODDESS OF VICTORY: NIKKE 2.5-Year Anniversary Livestream, unveiling a wave of new content that’s sure to shake up the battlefield and delight longtime fans. From new playable characters and limited-time events to a surprising Major League Baseball crossover, here’s everything announced during the celebratory stream.
Three New Nikkes Join the Roster: Little Mermaid, Mihara: Bonding Chain and Mori
The highlight of the livestream was the reveal of three new Nikkes joining the ever-growing lineup.
Little Mermaid is a powerful SSR unit with a hauntingly beautiful design and a focus on long-range suppression. Her story ties into the upcoming narrative arc and positions her as a central figure moving forward.
Meanwhile, Mihara: Bonding Chain is a revamped version of the original Mihara, now wrapped in a darker, more emotional backstory. This new variant offers a reworked skill set and powerful synergy in team compositions built around close-quarters combat and buffs.
Both characters come with themed costumes that players can unlock during the anniversary period.
We also got the reveal of Mori A Nikke who fights alone for survival, now joins the battlefield.
